Labs in Focus
Our lab works on understanding
immune responses in both physiological
and pathological status, with special
focus on the adaptive arm. T cells
specifically CD4+ T cells form a major
component of the adaptive arm and have
been shown to have exquisite control
over immune homeostasis. In order to
understand normal versus immuno
pathological responses we use both
murine and human T cell models and
disease models and have found certain
fundamental similarities, exquisite
differences and obvious
incompatibilities. Subsequently we
understand that mice and human
disease models though similar are not same, for e.g. acute T cell mediated immuno pathology in human
arthritis, asthma, diabetes, malaria and viral infections. Our proposal aims to characterize the presence
of multiple human and mouse T helper subsets in normal, Auto Immune and chronic Immune
pathologies etc. so as to be able to understand T cell biology in normal and aberrant immune responses.

Breast cancer
treatment comes
with challenges of
drug resistance,
metastasis and
recurrence. Major
focus of our lab is to
identify key
molecules playing
role in development
of tamoxifen
resistance in
estrogen receptor
(ER) positive breast cancer that may be of therapeutic importance. We have identified a molecule which is
known as estrogen related receptor beta (ERR β) which has been proved by us, to work as a potent tumor
suppressor. To further understand the molecular insights into the tumor suppressive role of ERRβ in breast
cancer, role of its other target genes are also being studied. One of its target gene named, XEDAR (X-
linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor), is currently the other focus of research. Experiments performed till
date in our lab indicates its critical role in cancer cell proliferation and migration. Further studies may prove
XEDAR as a diagnostic molecular marker in breast cancer.
Lastly, but not the least , we have been able to prove in mouse as well as human tumor model that using the
inhibitor of EZH2, the metastasis can be challenged in smoking group of women population who are
diagnosed with breast cancer. We have been able to develop three potential candidate drugs for challenging
breast cancer. We work with the zeal to try and make breast cancer a history.
The 18th Scientific Advisory
Committee meeting 2019 was

ILS Bhubaneswar celebrated
the National Science Day by
organizing a science outreach
programme for school students
in seven district headquarters
(Jajpur, Baripada, Adaspur,
Rayagada, Kamgaon-Baragadh,
Khama - Sambalpur,
Dhenkanal) of Odisha. Around
3000 students interacted with
the scientists and participated
in scientific competitions. The
event was inaugurated by
Minister S&T, Odisha ,Shri
Badri Narayan Patra. Other
prominent delegates for the
June and August, 2019
Aspirational District Programme
inaugural session were Dr. Ashoka Das, VC, State Higher education council, Dr. Sanghamitra Pati, RMRC and
Mr. Prabhat Mallik, CMD, Naxatra news.
ILS is implementing a program focusing on Economic Empowerment of Tribal Farming communities of
Nabarangapur (an Aspirational District) with support from the Department of Biotechnology, GOI. This
program being implemented in collaboration with RMRC and KISS aims at improving agriculture
productivity through integrated farming systems and promotion of low water requiring crops, address
nutrition and health concerns and empower communities for agri-entreprenuerships with training and
capacity development.

WITHIN…
When the mind is unstable
Going through puzzle
Growing through struggle
Then a tune from heart whispers in my
brain
Keep calm, keep calm within.
Time makes me mature
but I’m a child within
though pretending grownup and
responsible
I love to be remain within.
Searching for a heart, who can identify
me
allow me to grow and to be with me
Say me to go ahead, you are my flying jet
be within you as you always wanted to be
within.

Unse mohabbat Kya hui "khud",
